Finding somewhere for me…

I’ve been doing this blogging thing for a long while, at the moment just about four and a half years…

I’ve struggled with thinking about who my audience is and why and who I write for. The general concept of why I write is that I write for me, and me alone.

The Path to Enlightened Insanity via Defacted Musings is a narcissistic therapeutic venture that has taken me all sorts of places, from the annals of the US Government Federal Budget to the inner workings of my sarcastic colon (yes, I know from anals to colons isn’t that far, but there is a huge cottage industry within the pharmaceutical business dedicated to relaxing the passage between the two.)

I hit into an interesting predicament within the past year when I realized (or perhaps I introduced, I don’t remember) my parents were/had read this.

The funny thing is I don’t quite mind perfect strangers from knowing whats going on in my head, but at times I do struggle with letting those I know into my thoughts, especially when I don’t have the luxury of working toward shared meaning in conversation. People think they fully understand the situation, but I’ve come upon several times when talking in person with those who read this I come to realize that there is a communications gap here.

So what I’m wandering toward is that I’m going to start up another blog, probably on one of the public blogging sites that everyone and their mother uses. I’m not going to associate that blog with this one at the moment, but there is the possibility that I’ll somehow integrate the two at a later date, but just not right now.
